WinRAR on mac (1 Viewer)

[persephone]

I downloaded winrar from http://www.win-rar.com and I can't get it to work on my mac. When I extracted it or whatever it made a folder that looked like this



And I have no idea what it all means...

I downloaded winrar for my windows computer and it wasn't that hard to set up so I'm really confused...

EDIT: I read somewhere I have to use Terminal... and that looks difficult... anyone want to give me a quick run down?

I believe winrar is purely for windows users:

WinRAR is a Windows data compression utility that focuses on the RAR and ZIP data
compression formats for all Windows users.

So that means you can't use winrar on a mac, unless you have a windows emulator running to translate the program so it MIGHT run on a mac.

Microsoft released their version of such emulator here.

WinRAR has a mac version, but only for the command line, no GUI

You should give the Readme document a read first and see how you go.

look here: http://www.macupdate.com/utilities.php?sub=3

for something that says it's a GUI wrapper for RAR and give it a whirl.
